Printing margins for HP C410 (Photosmart)
I'd like to know how close to the edge of the paper my Photosmart C410
can print but I can't find the information anywhere. The user manual says helpfully:- Make sure the margin settings for the document do not exceed the printable area of the product. However it doesn't seem to tell me anywhere what "the printable area of the product." is. It *seems* as if the top margin in particular is somewhat more than my old HP7310's was but I'd like to be sure it's the printer hardware preventing me from getting closer to the top of the page an not some magic setup somewhere. -- Chris Green |

In my experience the minimum margins quoted in printers' manuals and specifications are very often inaccurate and are overrdden anyway by arbitrary figures set in applications or printer drivers; eg, to make left and right margins the same and/or to adjust for portrait and landscpe formats. These margins may be OK but they should be under /your/ control, not a progrmmer's. The best way to retain control is to measure the physical margins. The easiest way to do this is to use a drawing application to draw bars on an A4 'sheet' (or whatever paper size you use) from left edge to right edge and from top to bottom. Then print the A4 sheet and use a ruler to measure the unprinted sections of the bars. These sections are your physical margins.

The margins should be obtained by an application such as Word from the driver of the printer that is selected in its print dialogue. Unless you change it, the printer used will be the default printer (set in Printers and Faxes). Only one set of margins can be displayed in Word at a time. Of course it is possible that your 2 printers happen to have the same margins.

Also to add:
I just got a warning saying that print was outside the margins, no information about what the margins are. You are trying different margins till not to get the error message. |
